The war horses accelerated enthusiastically on the official road.
The horses in the Central Plains are always not as good as those outside the customs. Fortunately, the empire still holds the Hetao area and can continue to supply the court with good horses for combat.
Taiyuan City, as a nine-border important town connecting the Central Plains and the outside world, has never been short of pedestrians on its official roads.
Zhang Hui, dressed in smart clothes, led the people and rode quickly.
Just like the Yuan people outside the Guan Dynasty longed for the Central Plains, Zhang Hui also had a unique desire for the outside world.
horse.
There are the strongest war horses outside the pass, and there are thoroughbred horses that can make those Yuan people run thousands of miles.
Although Zhang Hui is a Jinyiwei, he is also a soldier of the empire, and he also has a strong interest and desire for everything related to war.
In addition to longing for the endless grasslands and groups of war horses outside the pass, Zhang Hui looked up at the outline of Taiyuan City that had been drawn out in beautiful and brilliant light under the afterglow of the setting sun.
A certain research project of Taiyuan Hospital has reached its most critical moment. I hope that during this trip, I can complete the final and most critical step for Taiyuan Hospital in Taiyuan City.
As a royal guard, he ordered hundreds of officials to be imprisoned.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Hui is the devil who climbed up from hell, an executioner who can only cramp and peel off bones.
But in Taiyuan Hospital, Zhang Hui enjoyed the highest respect.
Even though he was covered in blood, as soon as he walked into the imperial hospital, the imperial doctors who were now accustomed to wearing white coats would always surround him enthusiastically and eagerly exchange with him the latest research results and the next steps. I hope Zhang Hui can help.
This insufficiency must be felt by outsiders, which makes Zhang Hui a little more eager for the city of Taiyuan that is getting closer and closer in front of him.
"Now that the errands on Shanxi Road have been completed, it's time for us Jin Yiwei to set up outside the customs."
Zhang Hui is riding very fast on horseback, but his control of the horse is exceptionally superb.
Several of his subordinates who were traveling with him were also skilled in riding.
"The biggest problem now is that it is difficult for our people to show their faces on the grassland. Even though the imperial court has recruited and surrendered many grassland tribes over the years, these people are not worthy of complete trust."
A general flag officer under Zhang Hui explained quietly beside him.
Zhang Hui chuckled: "Then select some young herdsmen who have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Those who are fifteen or sixteen years old are the best. There is new research at the Imperial Hospital. As long as the methods are appropriate, these people can be completely devoted to the Ming Dynasty. That is It’s hard for his biological parents to change his mind.”
The flag officer silently closed his mouth.
Everyone in the prison knows that Baihuguan is not only doing the same things for Taiyuan Hospital.
It has been a while since the things that Baihu officials did in the imperial prison had turned from a superficial study into an attack on a person's innermost being.
As the chief flag officer under Zhang Hui, he still remembers the time when the vicious bandit was taken back to prison by him from the Ministry of Punishment.
It's only ten days.
The bandit with nearly a hundred lives on his hands has become as obedient as a chicken.
The flag officer even watched with his own eyes as Zhang Baihu calmly asked the other party to cut off his five fingers one by one.
The robber, without any hesitation in his eyes, took the knife and cut off his fingers one by one.
At that moment, the flag officer felt chilled all over and the hairs on his body stood up.
No one knows what Baihuguan did to the bandit in those ten days to make him behave like this and make such a big change.
But what is known is that Baihuguan did not torture the bandit.
But soon, the experiment was stopped.
The Chief Flag Officer vaguely heard that the order came from the palace. All written records related to the entire experiment were transferred from Jinyiwei to another unknown place, and all archives were destroyed.
As for Taiyuan Hospital, the new and old envoys personally went out to communicate with Zhang Baihu for a long time, and even wrote a prescription for Zhang Baihu, asking Zhang Baihu to
Take it continuously for one month.
This is something that must never be made public.
When the flag officer heard that Zhang Hui was going to use that method again, he tactfully shut up and refused to participate in the inquiry.
At this time, the team had arrived near Taiyuan City.
Enter the city from the southeast.
Looking up at the towering walls of Taiyuan City, Zhang Hui looked northeast.
He raised his arm holding the riding crop and pointed northeast.
"Yuan thief?"
The flag officer looked in the direction and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's probably herdsmen from outside the customs who are entering the customs to do business."
Zhang Hui's brows trembled: "After all, the horses outside the pass are more handsome."
The chief flag officer smiled and said: "If hundreds of households like them, my subordinates will buy those horses after entering the city."
Does Jin Yiwei need to spend money to buy what he wants?
Especially, this thing is not in Akito's hands.
The answer is obvious.
When I say I buy it, it’s just to make it sound better.
Zhang Hui smiled, shook his head and said, "Go to the city and find a good place to settle down. In the days to come, you need to be careful and don't attract the attention of Taiyuan City."
The chief flag officer nodded: "Do you want to contact Prince Jin's Mansion? With the secret support of Prince Jin's Mansion, it will be convenient for us to act in Taiyuan City."
Zhang Hui thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness's decree requires King Jin and Duke Liang to go north and take up residence in Datong. The White Lotus Sect can attack the imperial city of Zhongdu, so there is no guarantee that there are no eyes and ears in Prince Jin's palace, so we should not contact them."
The flag officer's eyes darkened.
Although it is now clear that the White Lotus Sect has colluded with Shanxi merchants to do evil things.
But the other party is in the dark after all, and no one knows who in Taiyuan City is the down-line for the development of the White Lotus Sect.
As Taiyuan City is the heartland of Shanxi merchants, the relationships in the city must have been intricate for a long time.
"The writing should be in response to God sending more people to Shanxi."
The flag officer said in a low voice.
At present, in Shanxi Road, apart from them, there are only those who are on the bright side of the Jinyi Guards House.
These people will naturally be closely watched by the people in Shanxi Road and cannot be used recklessly.
And people other than them simply cannot cope with the current situation in Shanxi Road.
Zhang Hui lowered his eyelids and spoke after a while: "I am here to report that my grandson is here."
The flag officer nodded: "I understand."
At this time, the group of people had already arrived at Taiyuan City.
Everyone took out the false vouchers prepared in advance and handed them to the officers and soldiers under the city gate for verification, and then entered Taiyuan City without incident.
In a short period of time, Taiyuan City was flooded with several forces with different agendas.
But for various reasons, he remained low-key and calm.
This made Taiyuan City, which had already entered early winter, not appear too chaotic. Just because the New Year was approaching, it gave the streets a more festive atmosphere.
The northwest corner of the city.
There is a large mansion just a few streets away from Prince Jin's Mansion. It clearly shows luxury, but no one dares to criticize it.
In the city, the three government offices on Shanxi Road, the Taiyuan government office, the county office, and various government offices are scattered throughout the city. There are many unexplained connections with the house in the northwest corner.
Because there is Gaomen in the northwest of the city, and the streets slightly closer, it has become a place where people from all walks of life gather.
I thought that I could be favored by a high-ranking family and get more money so that I could go home and celebrate the New Year.
There are drum callers, bamboo calligraphers, comb sellers, knives and scissors sellers, medicine sellers, fortune tellers, and fortune tellers. The street is bustling, attracting an endless stream of people from Taiyuan City.
Away from the street entrance, there was a stall with several tea tables, burning tea powder, and a storyteller entertaining a few guests.
The storytellers were all talking about popular books such as "The Biography of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms". The common people had heard a lot and were not very curious.
After finishing this article, sir, please join us
I only got a few pennies, which was not enough for a day's expenses, but I had no idea to continue talking.
Instead, he sat down to the side and made tea at the tea stall. He drank the tea and smeared the oil beans in his mouth while looking at the high gate across the street.
"I've been in Taiyuan City for three to five days, but I can't make a few taels of silver. I probably won't be able to return home this year."
Zhang Hui's face looked a little pale because he had been in prison for a long time. At this moment, he was wearing a storyteller's gown, which made it hard to tell.
The tea stall owner was circling his hands and looking at the endless stream of people on the street, but few came to drink tea.
I didn't have much free time, so I just glanced at the storyteller here.
Then the tea stall owner showed a bit of sarcasm on his face: "You have to be good at trial work. Who hasn't heard of "The Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Three Kingdoms"? There are many people who have talked about it. Can you do it?"
Zhang Hui looked over and glared: "I can't say it's good, your tea stall can't be burned well either."
The tea stall owner replied: "I have nothing to do. There are seven people in my family working on the land, so I can't have more or less. I can boil water to make tea, and I can make more than ten or twenty boards a day."
Zhang Hui stopped talking. If he hadn't agreed to give the old man half of his daily storytelling, he wouldn't have had a place to hide his identity.
When the tea stall owner saw that Zhang Hui was always looking at the high gate of the Li family, he mocked him even more: "You still have to be able to speak, for example, "The Legend of Horse Thief and the Golden Gun" for long, "Bao Gong's Eucalyptus" for short, etc. Well, you can go to the Li family for three or two months. At the end of the year, you can always earn dozens of taels of silver and go home to celebrate the New Year. This Li family needs your scraps of silver. Do you know what scraps of silver are? People have dozens of taels of silver. A few hundred taels are all called broken silver."
Zhang Hui looked at the tea stall owner, and then at the Shanxi merchant Li family in the northwest corner of Taiyuan City in the distance.
He hummed and said: "When I came to the city, I heard that the Li family has quite a lot of old money. It is buried in the cellar and is rotten underneath."
The tea stall owner smiled and said: "No, what I eat is gold, what I sleep on is jade, and the broken silver can be counted as dozens or hundreds of taels."

female.
On the street, Zhang Hui, who had been disguised as a storyteller since entering Taiyuan City, was hiding in the shadows, behind the endless crowd, looking at the Li family's house.
And in the house with flowing water.
For the first time, Zhu Yunwen saw the luxurious style of the wealthy businessmen in these places.
In addition to the most eye-catching flowing water on Shanxi Road, there are bamboo drainage channels set up in the entire courtyard that go through the trees.
What flows in the bamboo drainage channel is the sweet wine.
Candles bought from the south were burning everywhere, and incense brought from the deep mountains and old forests were burning.
All rare birds and animals that fly in the sky, swim in the water, and run on the ground have become food for people to eat at the banquet.
The lights flickered.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Liu Zongsheng and these people from Shanxi Province, talking eagerly and familiarly.
As for his identity as a clan member of the Ming Dynasty, he received a lot of praise after Liu Zongsheng introduced it to everyone present.
So much so that Zhu Yunwen, who originally wanted to participate in a low-key manner, was placed in a seat close to Li Wenxiang, the head of the Li family.
Above, Liu Zongsheng, Li Wenxiang and others burst into hearty and heroic laughter.
Then I saw Li Wen speaking to everyone at the table: "Everyone! Everyone!"
Following Li Wenxiang's call, the people sitting at the table became quiet one after another tonight.
Li Wenxiang's face was bright red and he said: "Recently, we got some horses at home, which are quite amazing. They have not been trained yet. Tonight, Prince Xiao Ming and his Taibao are coming, and the prince is also here to show his favor. I will be the host to pull out these horses and compete with them." You all look at each other."
After Li Wenxiang finished speaking, there was an ambiguous expression on his face.
Everyone at the banquet also laughed wildly.
Zhu Yunwen looked to the left and right, frowning slightly.
This horse seems a bit unserious.
